Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori genetic diversity affects the function and antigenicity of virulence factors associated with the disease outcome. Gene profile was done to identify the distribution of gene loci within and outside the cag pathogenicity-island (PAI). H. pylori strains from 35 patients [21 gastritis, 14 peptic ulcer diseases (PUD)] were analyzed using PCR. The profile of the cag PAI was evaluated using primers...
